                The shape of this censer originates from archaic bronze lian
                vessels from the Han dynasty (206 BC - AD 220). Ceramic
                vessels of this form are often molded with bow-strings around
                the body. A Longquan tripod censer of closely related form,
                also decorated with two raised lines, in the collection of the
                Sichuan Provincial Museum, is illustrated in Longquan Celadon:
                The Sichuan Museum Collection, Macao, 1998, pp. 146-47, no.
                47. See, also, an example with triple bow-string bands from the
                Linyushanren Collection, sold at Christie's New York, 22 March
